Cinnamon Dough Ornaments

December is here and it is time to get ready for Christmas! Here is a recipe for a fun afternoon with your child.

Cinnamon Dough Ornaments

1 1/2 cups ground cinnamon
1 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup glue

Mix above ingredients. If to stiff add a little water. Will make a thick dough. Form into a large ball. Place in a zip lock bag and refrigerate for a least 1/2 hour. Remove dough from the bag and place between two pieces of wax paper. Roll out the dough and cut out shapes with your favorite cookie cutters. Take a straw and make a hole for ribbon. Let dry and hang on your tree. Stored in an air tight container these will last for years to come. They will make your house smell really good as well.

Happy Thanksgiving

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands... Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good. Psalm 100:1,4-5

We are thankful for so many things, but we are especially thankful for our grandparents and the wonderful Thanksgiving service they came to share with us this week.

Have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving Holiday!

A Turkey is a Funny Bird

We are learning a cute poem for Thanksgiving and Grandparent's Day. Ask your child if he can say it for you.

A turkey is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble, wobble.

All he knows is just one word,
Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Nations Called to Thank God

The Scriptures make it clear that not just individuals, but nations, are to remember works that God has done for them.

The failure of Americans to thank the Almighty for what He providentially did to sustain the New England settlers with their first harvest, to direct our Founders in winning their freedom from Britain, and to shape their Bible-based constitutional government and free market economy, has contributed to our rejection of the God of Providence, the exalting of the false gods of secular humanism and socialism, and the worship of man and the state.

What better time for Americans to remember the God of their Fathers and how He blessed them throughout their history than on Thanksgiving Day?

2010 Fall Fundraiser

We are selling citrus for Florida Indian River Groves. This is a wonderful way to get all of your Christmas shopping done. Citrus is a yummy way to say I love you. The sale ends November 8, 2010. So don't delay, get our order in as soon as possible.

Does your child obey?

Obedience is foundational. It was the first lesson God taught in the Garden of Eden. Obedience is foundational for the home, school and society. It is absolutely necessary for law and order to prevail. If we lived in a world where everyone thought they were the center of the universe...well, wait a minute, we do! Look what our society had come to.

So I ask you this question. Does your child obey? Obedience should always be immediate, instant, without question or argument. Why should you child obey? Obedience can be a matter of physical and spiritual safety! Picture your child running towards a busy street, if you tell him to stop and he runs right into oncoming traffic, the end result is terrible. Your child should stop without question! If our children do not develop a submissive heart, they can be lead away from God. If they cannot learn to obey their earthly father, how will they ever be able to obey their Heavely Father.

Here is how God teaches obedience.
Lay down the rule clearly and in advance.
Explain blessings or penalty.
Enforce!

Discipline your son, for in that there is hope: do not be a willing party to his death.
Proberbs 19:18

Children obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise; that it may be well with you and you may live a long life.
Ephesians 6:5 -3

October is here!

October is here and we are seeing pumpkins and scarecrows everywhere. The Fall Festival is just a week away. Don't miss this wonderful event that is fun for the whole family.

We are learning a new fall song this month! Sing to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot".

I'm a little scarecrow stuffed with hay,
standing out in the field all day.
When I see a crow I like to shout,
Hey Mr. Crow you better get out!

Run, run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I 'm the gingerbread boy, I am, I am!

Today Miss Page's and Miss Dee's Builders listened to the story of the Gingerbread Boy by: Paul Galodne. After the story was over Miss Page gave everyone a gingerbread boy cookie and we pretended to be the sneaky, old fox and gobbled the gingerbread boy up!!

Reading to your child is one of the most important things you can do at this age! Reading to your child can help build vocabulary and help build his attention span! So make a trip to the library and enjoy a good book with your little ones.

I am looking forward to seeing all of my parents at PTF! We will talk about my goals for your children this year! Please meet in the gym for a meeting. We will then go to the classroom! You will have a chance to talk to our room mother and sign up for all of the fun volunteer positions for our class! I can't wait to see you there!

Welcome to Miss Page's Builders

We are having so much fun learning so many new things in Miss Page's class! We are learning to obey Miss Page. We are learning to sit in a chair. We are learning to walk in a line by holding Miss Page's rope. We are learning to pick up all of the toys. We are learning to be kind to our friends and to share our toys. We have made so much progress in just a week. I am looking forward to all of the wonderful things we will learn this year.
